The role of poroelasticity on the biomechanics of the intervertebral disc : a finite element study

The major goal for the present work is to evaluate a biomimetic Finite Element (FE) model of the Intervertebral Disc (IVD). Recent studies have emphasized the importance of an accurate biomechanical modeling of the IVD, which is a highly complex biphasic medium. A novel biphasic poroelastic model wa...
